Colorful Unit Study: Little Kiddos

 Kiddos love color.  Let’s plan a unit study around color.  Start with an armful of books about rainbows.  The Homeschool Scientist has the Rainbow Science Lesson and Activities.  Look over HST’s Rainbow Science Projects, too.  What’s the plan?  Read several rainbow books.  Do a bunch of fun experiments.  Learn about ROY G BIV.  Complete a worksheet and color a rainbow.  Boom! Instant unit study for your kiddo!

1.  Ward’s World’s Rainbow Lab is an exercise in following directions precisely.  

2. Rainbow Walking Water is another staple.  Look at the two images below.  Just use water soluble markers on paper towel.  Anatomy of a Rainbow has an excellent printable, which dovetails with the Walking Water experiment.


3. Here are 15 Rainbow Experiments. Ask the local thrift store to save you CDs.  

4.  Round out the lesson with HST’s Rainbows Worksheet or Rainbow Color by Number.  No, you won’t need to create an account, subscribe, or sell your name to download these.
